Series III: Personal Papers, Files, and Realia, 1824 - 2003
Scope and Contents
Series III of the William Faulkner Collection contains the personal papers, files, belongings, and related realia of William Faulkner. Materials in the collection range in date from 1824 to 2003 and are divided into eight subseries: William Faulkner’s working papers related to his literary works, drawings made by Faulkner, his childhood ephemera and student records, military and flight records, family papers, honors and awards, belongings and related realia, and reminiscences or accounts of William Faulkner.
Many of William Faulkner’s student and family records differ in the spelling of his last name due to changes made over time by family members and by Faulkner himself. For this reason, Faulkner’s student and childhood records will often refer to him as “William Falkner.” William Faulkner’s family papers are also listed as “Faulkner/Falkner Family Papers” for this reason.
